Title: Compensaver removal
Post by: hrdtail78 on March 21, 2024, 05:37:04 AM
I have about 60,000 miles on this.  I removed it only because of going to solid front drive.  Great design and held up great.IMG_4173.jpeg

I have one that's got around 55k to 60k miles on it. I'll be looking at it in a few months. Last I looked around 40k it was doing fine.

It's a great design, floods the compensator center section with lube.

This was the early Screamin Eagle compensator "saver" kit made by GMR Performance. It's proof that HD employees do read HD forums. Just after this was released for public purchase, HD came out with their version.

A component that was designed to oil the bearing surfaces of the screaming eagle comp.  2012-2013?  Was designed by people that were sharing their research and developed here on this site.  Harley later came out with a new designed comp that oiled the bearing surfaces much better than stock, and had simplified oil collection for feed.

With new SE comp this aftermarket product became obsolete.  Still a great product and worked as designed.

I installed the SE unit on my 12 but it's only got around 30K miles on it.  I am going to ASSume it's fine.
